bridesmaid outfits

These mermaid bridesmaids are probably luring me to my doom and MY BODY IS READY

These prom dresses can be the affordable alternative wedding dresses of your dreams [Updated for 2022!]

Prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, ballgowns, formal dresses… all of these terms can totally mean WEDDING DRESSES. Plus, they’re almost all sub-$500 which means they’re alternative wedding dresses on a budget. I went a-scouring the prom and bridesmaids sections to see what steals and deals I could find in pinks, metallics, whites, creams, florals, and so many more.

It’ll be hard, but I’ll try to manage.

Go beat me to them and find that prom dress turned wedding dress right now…

Tulle for days, y’all…
